• You are now permitted to report bugs on Internet Explorer
  Will wonders never cease?
• Seven rules for corporate blogging
  Nicolas "does IT matter" Carr's rule #1 is "don't do it"
• eBay search results avialable as RSS
  They're using the Microsoft SLX list extensions, but (sadly) not A9 OpenSearch
• Heads Roll As Microsoft Misses Vista Target
  But "most [companies] will undertake a year and a half of testing before they install Vista anyway"
• NetBeans Adds Features, Helps Eclipse with GUI

Trygve Lie on the roller-dev list: We have spent a lot of time evaluating (almost one year now) different blog software and we also have one installation of your largest competitors running (Drupal, which we are not happy with) as an pilot and we have found Roller to be way ahead of all other blog solutions out there when it comes to technical architecture. But, no blog solution has this multi domain support. I think such a support would be a benefit for a whole new set of Roller users (and possible contributors).

I totally agree. Unfortunately, getting big changes into an open source project is difficult when you have no committers on the project (and the current committers have other pressing priorities), but I think Trygve and the team from LinPro AS are taking the right approach. I want to encourage them to work with the Roller community to make this work. Even if this specific multi-domain implementation doesn't end up in the Roller core, we'll all benefit from this discussion.

For Blojsom 3.0, David Czarnecki is injecting a Hibernate backend into the codebase via Spring and working to keep the easy-install in place. It should be very interesting to watch his progress.

Your Roller bookmarks are available in OPML format. That means you can graze them at Grazr.com. Your URLs look like this:
    http://<hostname>/roller/flavor/<username>?flavor=opml&path=<path>

So, for example, you can see all of my bookmarks here:
    http://rollerweblogger.org/flavor/roller?flavor=opml
    (or view them in grazr.com)

And my blogroll is here:
    http://rollerweblogger.org/flavor/roller?flavor=opml&path=/Blogroll
    (or view it in grazr.com)
